New Non-Implanted device aims to ease overactive bladder woes
NCT ID NCT06885099
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether women with overactive bladder (OAB) could easily use the FemPulse System, a non-implanted vaginal electrical stimulation device. Eleven women with OAB symptoms used the device and completed a survey about its usability. The goal was simply to see if the system is user-friendly, not to measure how well it treats OAB.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- FemPulse System (non-implanted vaginal electrical stimulation device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a simple, drug-free option for women to manage overactive bladder symptoms at home.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small, completed study (11 people) focused only on ease of use, not on how well the device treats symptoms. Results may not apply to everyone.
